July 4th

Made my first-ever trip to Black Eagle Park this evening, and found it to be quite fun. Needs a little bit of TLC, but a very nice park. And it’s got one loooooong slide! Special thanks to BECKY for the delicious smores that she made! Then off for a bite to eat at the new Flying J up on Gore Hill (next to the Crystal Inn). And then we watched the fireworks from the top of the hill behind Home Depot…the city display was OK, but what was really amazing was watching fireworks going off ALL OVER TOWN! There...

There She Is…

…Mrs Great Falls! I didn’t know that such a competition existed, but kudos to the winner, Mrs Kandi Stoebe. I’m a bit puzzled, though; for a competition that is so heavily weighted towards how attractive the contestants are, I thought that the Tribune article would have featured a picture. UPDATE: here’s a picture of Mrs Great Falls (scroll down).

Fun For The Fourth!

The City of Great Falls website has all of the information you need to know about what’s legal – and what’s not – when it comes to fireworks here in Great Falls. The official city-sponsored fireworks show is at 10:30 tonight. And if you need to cool down, try the Electric City Water Park – fun for the whole family, and perfect for a bright, warm day like today.

My friend Todd snapped this picture as he was returning to Great Falls several months ago; pretty cool! I like trying to identify landmarks in pictures like this. Read The Whole Thing >>> Click the picture for full-size view. « Hide It

Changing Channels

Friday, July 1, 2005

As of today, KTGF (channel 12 cable, or channel 16 non-cable) is now a Fox affiliate, with some UPN programming thrown in, too. That’s cool, because we haven’t had a local Fox affiliate until now. The NBC affiliation has gone to newcomer KBGF…but I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the digital cable lineup yet. UPDATE: Found it – KBGF is broadcasting on cable-channel 6 (non-cable 50) under the name “Beartooth NBC.” Looks like the HQ for this station is actually in Helena, but there will be two reporters working here in Great Falls. Quite a few changes...

The Hangout

Well, this certainly looks promising: The Hangout. I’m not sure when it opened, but it’s fairly recent, I believe. Plenty of activities for everyone: billiards, air-hockey, internet access, foosball, snacks & beverages, darts, videogames, and more. No drugs, no alcohol, no smoking, no gambling. The Hangout is located at 5501 9th Avenue South, and you can call them at 453.1099 for more information. Definitely plan to check this out! UPDATE: sadly, The Hangout didn’t last…it was closed in the Fall of 2006. Good idea, but I think that the location was a big factor in its’ demise. Too far...
